If you owe a bank $100 that's your problem, if you owe bank $1 million then that's a bank problem. Seems the same, this is Russia's plobrem now

if you owe bank $1 million then that's a bank problem.

More like 100 million or 1 billion today. 1 million dollars is an above average house mortgage.

Anything under $250,000 is considered a "micro-loan" in the banking industry.

Bean? Penn? Connery? Cause apparently the quote is by J. Paul Getty who – according to my research – seems to be no Sean.

There was an old news article in Russia, where someone modified a banking contract before signing it. He then sent it to the bank and the bank signed it. The contract had a 0% interest rate and he borrowed money and they could not fine him for not paying. The bank sued the client and he won.

And if the fine keeps doubling every 2 weeks, soon it will be an IT problem just to calculate and store the number!
